Story based on the song "The Big Rock Candy Mountains" apparently written by Harry K. McClintock (Haywire Mac) around 1905 based on earlier oral sources. The song is generally identified with the depression of the 1930s when it became popular. The story uses the basic motif of the song of a hobos paradise contrasted to the world outside. |
